Considering Building A Wooden Truck Camper?

Wood isn't just a great material for building a truck camper -- It's by far the easiest, cheapest, most widely useful material that anyone can build with, especially as a relative beginner. Not only is it extremely easy to work with and easy to obtain at any home improvement store (or even find totally free), unlike metals, wood is a great insulator, so it keeps you cool in summer and warm in winter. While not the lightest of materials, wood lumber is sufficiently strong to build a very sturdy structure without "sinking your ship". Before I furnished it for full-time boondocking, my own wooden popup truck camper made from 2x4s was surprisingly light -- lighter than any commercial camper. And it was easy enough to construct that I finished it in just 3 days! Here are some links I've collected for your inspiration.
